A belly-to-belly through glass. Shane O'Mac leaping (multiple times) from the gantry. Slams through spotlights. Spears through the stage. Buried alive pits.

Whilst the PG-era put paid to backstage hardcore battles, there's no reason not to resurrect custom sets for out-of-ring experiences that supply big pops, the likes of which WWE would pay anything to hear again. Often you could see the spot coming a mile off €“ and that made it great.
